College Farm is a medieval family home situated in the village of Thompson three miles from the market town of Watton. We have 3 double bedrooms all with private or ensuite bathrooms and we are ideally situated as a base for touring Norfolk as well as Norwich, Cambridge and Ely. Thompson is a convenient stop over for those walking or riding 'Peddars Way' or the Pingo Trail (a feature left from the last Ice age).

Friday flowers in the Goat Shed bathroom ready for our guests this weekend.
The mirror was an impulse buy from and .interiordesign helped us design the bathroom so we could incorporate the mirror. I love the mix of old & new in The Goat Shed and hope you do too when you come to stay 🐐

I’ve made the beds, cleaned the kitchen and made a cake for tea so I think I deserve a nice cup of tea before our guests arrive ☕️
One of my greatest pleasures is making a freshly baked cake to welcome our guests when they arrive 🧁

Taking a little time out with just the two of you is such a good idea on your wedding day. It gives you a few moments to take it all in and appreciate all the hard work in the run up to your special day. It’s also a good moment to toast each other and make a wish for your life together as husband & wife 🥂
I’m completely biased, but I think is the best place to get married and start the new chapter in your life together. We were married here in 1985 and both our daughters were married here last year. What better recommendation could you get for your wedding at ?!
